Hublot just joined the brands celebrating the Year of the Snake with an iconic watch, complemented with beautiful details.

When it comes to the details, Hublot didn’t hold back on the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake edition—it went all out. The dial features an all-black background, highlighted by a gold serpent that cuts across different sections while accentuating subdials.

Elements such as the hour markers and hour hands are also characterized by a gold hue, complementing the serpent that sits on top of the dial.

While the high-end detailing can capture anyone’s attention, the materials used on the watch also elevate the whole look.

For starters, the casing is manufactured from high-tech ceramic, a high-quality material with a gloss-like appearance, designed to withstand tough conditions. It also comes with a scale-like pattern that extends from the upper section to the lower section.

Since this watch has an open design, it offers beautiful views into the HBU4700 caliber. While the front face of the caliber has a black hue, the back is characterized by a sliver luster that takes the look to a whole new level. As a high-quality movement, the HBU4700 caliber offers a 50-hour power reserve.

Unlike previous calibers, the new HBU4700 creates a smooth balance between contemporary and modern elements, thanks to new materials.

It’s also worth noting that Hublot’s black strap has a scale-like, snake-skin finish that completes the whole look.

As a limited edition watch, the new Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake edition will be capped at 88 pieces. Each piece is priced at $35,100.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)
Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market
Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
